Freshers' Guide 2019

Your Students’ Union is here for you Empowering you to excel by providing representation, guidance and opportunities. Representation Your course will have two student representatives. They’ll gather your feedback on everything about your Hartpury story. Whether it’s your teaching and learning experience, the size of classes, quality of equipment, recycling on campus, transport, facilities or food – they want to hear your views. If you’re interested in becoming your course rep, please let Hazel (your Education Officer) know. Guidance We know that settling into a new place with new people can be daunting. So we’re on hand to help you with that. We can help you find your way to the library, join new clubs and activities, or even find the support and assistance you might need. Come and have a chat with us. Opportunities We want you to have the best time here and a big part of that is your leisure time. We provide plenty of clubs and societies for you to join (and even help run, if you like). If we don’t have one that you would like to see, have a chat with Alice Doyle (your Clubs and Societies Officer). She would love to help you set it up. For volunteering opportunities, speak to Jenny and Georgie (your Vice-Presidents) and gain new skills that will pay off in the workplace. There’s heaps going on in Gloucestershire too.

With lots of animals on campus you’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with them. We have two registered therapy dogs, Ralph and Bailey, who you could walk.
